# communities browser extension :gift:
|
|
|
|
Every community that I meet these days wants to use its own different app to manage things, or alternatively create its own special forum and so on.
|
|
|
|
For instance:
|
|
|
|
- The dev-s community runs its own Slack channel (which is great) but wants its own discussion forum.
|
|
- ReRoll Bangalore has its own WhatsApp/Telegram group (which is great again) but lacks a discussion forum.
|
|
|
|
The idea is to make a Chrome/Firefox extension that:
|
|
|
|
1. lets you create a community (you get a unique id + social links you can give out)
|
|
2. lets others submit their identity to the community tracker via the extension.
|
|
|
|
The extension has the following features:
|
|
|
|
1. Allows you to add "communities" you belong to
|
|
2. Allows you to add your identity handles that you own. So you can specify multiple twitter/reddit/facebook/HN/... accounts that you own
|
|
3. Link communities with your identities. So you can share your reddit handle by joining a community.
|
|
4. Highlight a community member while browsing the site. So if you are browsing hacker news and have added yourselves to the community listing, you can see other discussions highlighted from other members.
|
|
|
|
The entire extension lives in browser space and localstorage. The backend just maintains a mapping of community id to profile IDs, which is synced once in a while. A community code might be required to add yourselves to the community.
|
|
|
|
This is like Reddit flairs, but flairs only work on a single subreddit, this is intended to work across various discussion forums.
